Luca was filled with disgust after hearing Allison's words.
Luke despised her to this extent, yet words like this could still come out of her mouth.
What lover...
If she had not been kidnapped, she would still be Luke's wife.
Allison noticed that she did not say anything, so she shouted, “Where's Luke? Put him on the phone."
“Ms. Tanner, Mr. Crawford is busy right now." Luca did not mention that Luke was in the shower as that would be too ambiguous.
"It's the holidays. What could he possibly be busy with? Tell him to answer the phone." Allison was rather aggressive. She might
be a little afraid of Luke, but she was not afraid of Luca at all.
She reckoned that Luca would want to get on her good side after becoming Luke's lover.
Luca could not do anything with Allison. She knew that she would call non-stop if she hung up, so she had no choice but to say,
"Mr. Crawford is really not available right now. I'll let him know when he's done and have him call you back, okay?"
Allison did not appreciate her kind words. Her piercing voice hurt Luca's ears.
"Who the hell are you to talk to me like that? I'm his mother. Put him on the phone immediately! Right now!"
Luca put the phone farther away
She could still clearly hear Allison's shrill voice. "You think that after sleeping with my son, you've become a member of the
Crawford family? You're nothing without my consent. I advise you to get on my good side while you still have the chance.
Otherwise, I'll make my son break up with you!"
Luca was growing impatient as Allison thought too highly of herself.
She was stubborn, arrogant, and refused to listen to what anyone had to say, so she could only keep quiet.
"I see you're not taking me seriously. I'll make Luke break up with you now. Do you think you're so great just because you're
pretty? If I make Luke dump you. He'll definitely do as I say."
Luca was about to say something to calm Allison's rage when the phone she was holding got snatched away.
She glanced back. Luke had already walked out of the shower and was holding the phone in his hand.
Allison's voice was loud, so her words could be heard even if he did not hold the phone close to his ear.
Luca looked at Luke resignedly.
All those harsh words Allison said just now... How much of it did Luke hear?
Luca was about to say something.
Luke put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling her to keep quiet. Then, he took her into his arms in one swift motion.
Luca was taken aback, and by the time she could react, she was already fully embraced by him.
Allison could not hear anything on the other end of the phone, so she was in a fury. “How dare you ignore me? You're just a doxy
with the face of a vixen. You only know how to seduce men by taking off your clothes. When I tell Old Master Crawford, you won't
even be able to live in A City!"
Luke's eyes grew deep. Allison had been quarreling with Susan all these years, so her arguing skills had been constantly
improving, and her words grew harsher.
Words like these would only come from the mouths of women on the street at best.
However, it was Allison who said these filthy words.
Luca dropped her gaze. The words were indeed harsh, but she could not do anything about it.
She was Luke's mother. What could she do? If it were someone else, she would have slapped them twice already.
Luke suppressed his anger and opened his mouth, "You called me to curse at people?"
Allison froze. All the words in her mind that she wanted to use to scold Luca had disappeared, and she was in fear.
"Luke, you.." She stuttered uncontrollably.
"The words you just said—" Luke said slowly.
Allison immediately interrupted, "That woman wouldn't let you answer the phone. That's why I said those things."
Luke did not want to listen to her explanation and directly touched on her sore sport. "Back then, what did you do to crawl into my
father's bed and have me?"
Allison's tone instantly sharpened as she could not accept this mockery. Back then, she had also relied on her looks to seduce
Zachary. Then, she found a way to get pregnant with Luke. This reminded her that everything that she had now was from
climbing into someone else's bed.
It was just like the words she used to scold Luca. "What are you trying to say? I'm your mother! Did that woman tell you to say
such things?"
"..." Luke did not answer. He straight away hung up and blocked her number.
This was Allison's new number, so she was able to call him.
"Mr. Crawford.." Luca saw that he was acting cold and had a sinister look on his face, so she knew that he was really angry.
"Don't take her words to heart," said Luke as he knew that Allison's mouth was vicious.
Luke was even a little upset that he let Luca pick up the call and made her sit through Allison's malicious words.
"I'm fine." Luca shook her head.
She knew that she was not actually a mistress.
It was just that her current identity did not allow her to say a lot of things, and many truths had to be buried by lies.
Luke did not say anything more about the Allison situation after seeing Luca's calm expression.
She was Bianca. She knew how Allison was.
“It's getting late. Let's go to sleep," said Luke.
Luca's eyebrows furrowed as the commotion Allison caused made her feel uneasy. "Mr. Crawford, why don't you have a good
talk with Ms. Tanner..."
"Talk about what?" Luke lifted the corner of the blanket and sat on the bed before looking at her.
Luca said, "She changed her number to call you. She might have something important to tell you."
They did not touch on anything important during the call, nor did they bring up the subject. Before Allison could make her appeal,
Luke hung up and even blocked her number.
SIM cards were not unlimited as they were tied to identity cards, so it would be hard for Allison to get more SIM cards to call
Luke.
"If she had something important to say, she wouldn't have wasted her time on such vituperation." Luke stood up and took her
hand, then he walked to the bedside with his other hand gently stroking the back of her neck.
Luke knew that this move could easily make her tremble, so he did it on purpose.
"Mr. Crawford.." Luca's mind went black with his touch, and she could no longer think of words to help Allison.
Her body subconsciously shivered as the man's movements sent a signal into the depths of her marrow, her cells, and her
nerves. Her body could not help but tremble with Luke's movements.
"Don't reject me." Luke's voice was low and hoarse like a demon luring her into an abyss with him to feel the pleasure of
indulging themselves.
